ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A high-concept art piece from visionary Nathalie Biancher (NOCTURNAL, GIBBERISH), WOLF tells the story of a boy named Jacob (George MacKay - 1917, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC) who believes that he is a wolf. When he is committed to a mental hospital, he meets Wildcat, played by Lily-Rose Depp (THE KING, THE DANCER), and the two form a close - but animalistic - bond. The Chicago Sun-Times raves, "George MacKay, Lily-Rose Depp star in dark fairy tale that handles a real-life condition - believing you're not human - with sensitivity and empathy."

SYNOPSIS

When a young boy, Jacob, is sent to an asylum for believing he is part wolf, he and fellow patients must repress their animal instincts by undergoing curative therapies before they are be able to return to society. Jacob (George MacKay) faces a dilemma when he falls for the mysterious Wildcat (Lily-Rose Depp) and must choose whether or not to suppress his true self for love.

ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"Biancheri's imagery is consistently evocative, and her interest in how captivity affects dignity at times recalls the work of Yorgos Lanthimos."

New York Times

"Sometimes Wolf is slight, relying on mystery and metaphor to build suspense, but Biancheri's sense of narrative adventure imbues this survivalist picture with more than uneasiness. She gives it tenderness."

Los Angeles Times

"George MacKay, Lily-Rose Depp star in dark fairy tale that handles a real-life condition - believing you're not human - with sensitivity and empathy."
